As part of our coverage of the June 12 massacre at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, we asked readers to send us questions about mass shootings in America. Given that our motto is “There’s always more to the story,” we wanted to hear what important angles you thought were missing from the media’s coverage.

We picked three of the nearly two dozen responses to put in front of you, our readers. For the next week, you can vote for your top question. From there, we’ll put a reporter on the story.

We’ll also answer some of the other questions that already have been covered by media, so keep an eye out for that soon. If you have any questions, email me at bduncan@cironline.org.
